Using GitHub Projects

Pros

  • has automation option that works better than Waffle's buggy hooks
  • can track issues across organization repos without a "placeholder" or "main" repo
  • can just create a "card" (not a full-fledged GH issue)
  • has different templates (automated and manual)
  • don't need GH labels for statuses (in progress, needs review, etc); project columns track that

Cons

  • doesn't use the GH ISSUE_TEMPLATE when creating issues
  • doesn't link PRs to issues?
  • doesn't have story points / weights like Waffle and Trello (sorta) have
  • automation hooks not as full-featured as Waffle (e.g. distinguishing collaborator PRs from outside PRs)
  • columns duplicate our existing labels system
  • only has 1 built-in template, so you'll to fuss with that every time you create a project
